In general I have to agree with CCP to cut high sec lvl5. The main problem I see with them is that the ISK generated from it, would do no good to EVE, once a broader player basis starts doing it...
However I have ambiguous view on it. On one side I can fully understand the road the devs choose, on the other side it indeed seems that CCP is bound to get rid of high sec carebearing with their latest patches. Which is kinda funny considering that the majority of their player base is involved in high sec acitvities.
What about 0.0 sec carebearing? those sanctums and heavens yield not much less ISK per hour, for about exactly the same risk as any high sec lvl5. Where is the difference? IMO 0.0 carebearing should receive at least the same "attention" from CCP as high sec...
Oh well

No, I think in that case CCP has to look mainly at the well being of the game - even if that means loosing a few customers.
LVL5 had the potential to change the character of EVE, more than most here realize. It is true that since a long time they wre assigned in high sec, however in great number only since Dominion. Since then the number of LVL5 increased exponentially, and CCP hat to pull the trigger on that one. No one knows that better than myself, I've done hundreds of them.
As to LVL5 not more profitable than 4er mission: you have no idea! With two or three high skill accounts you could do LVL5 missions at least as easy as 4er (if you don't loot, you can finish most of them in 20 min). All in all, the hourly ISK reward was about 150m. This dwarfs LVL4, and I think it's by far the most profitable activity a single person could do in this game. Concerning profitability, it would criple all other activities in the long term.
TL;DR: I think CCP did the right thing. Sure, some people now need to find some other area for their fun (including me and my alts). Some may even quit. But in the end it was absolutely necessary .

Originally by: Sarbad Garul The whole cash cow argument about L5s is plain nonsense. In terms of ISK/h L4 s are as lucrative or better. People ran L5 in hisec cause they liked the increased risk and the challenge in a pure PVE setting, many of the posts here show that.
another expert LOL... in terms of ISK/h lvl5 are at least twice as good as lvl4 - if done properly. Of course if you try to do them in your tengu solo...
Oh yeah the challenge. I could warp in a passive Rattlesnake and shoot all triggers in a gallente mission. 15 minutes later the rattlesnake would still be there, without any shild support on it! the challange is only there for the first time. after that its the same as any mission. Level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
